The Featured Roast

Origin and Basics
A 50/50 blend celebrating familiar flavors with unique origins.
50% Natural Papayo from Huila, Colombia (farm: La Cumbre, Palermo; altitude: 1700-2000 MASL; variety: Papayo; process: anaerobic natural).
50% Dry processed natural from Da La Pin, Myanmar (co-op: Shwe Taung Thu, Ywangan; altitude: 1368 MASL; variety: Catuai).
Official tasting notes: Berry Compote, Gingerbread, Honey.
My Tasting Experience
This is honestly my favorite coffee I've tried from Nightswim, a super sweet cup with just enough balance to keep it grounded.
It carries those cozy, holiday-inspired notes without overpowering, making it endlessly enjoyable and one I'd wish they carried year-round.
Brewing Tips
Makes an excellent pour over for highlighting its sweetness and nuance.
A little too sweet for a stovetop moka pot in my view, but if you have a home espresso machine, it pulls a shot as smooth as butter.
Value and Recommendation
Price: $28 for 12oz, its high end but worth it for the quality and limited availability (seasonal, so grab it now while you can).
Perfect for: Holiday vibes or gifting to fellow coffee lovers seeking something special and balanced.
Single Origin Specialty

Origin and Basics
Sourced from the Yirgacheffe region in Ethiopia, known for its high-quality coffees.
Producer: Konga Cooperative (founded in 1975), purchased through the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) and Interamerican Coffee.
Process: Washed, resulting in a clean, nuanced cup.
Unique Features: USDA certified organic; YCFCU returns 70% of profits to farmers for community projects like schools and clinics.
My Tasting Experience
This one's a standout for its bright, floral profile, it’s delicate layers unfold beautifully.
Tasting notes: White peach, jasmine, and tangerine for a sweet, citrusy lift that's refreshing without being overpowering.
It's got that classic Ethiopian complexity, making it a personal fave for when I want something lively and elegant.
Brewing Tips
Shines in a V60 pour over to highlight the florals and fruit—use water around 203°F for best results.
Also great as a cold brew for a summery twist, or even iced to amp up the citrus notes.
Value and Recommendation
Price: $21.95 per bag - solid for an organic single-origin with ethical sourcing.
Perfect for: Fans of light, fruity coffees seeking nuance on a reasonable budget.
The Grocery Get

Origin and Basics
Sourced from small farms in Sumatra, Indonesia, using the traditional wet-hulling (Giling Basah) process for that signature full-bodied character.
Medium-dark roast, 100% Arabica beans, certified organic and fair trade.
Official notes: Bold, earthy, low acidity, with hints of dried fruit, molasses, and chocolate.
My Tasting Experience
This one is out of left field compared to niche specialty roasters, but it's a fantastic everyday coffee that punches way above its price.
The rich, bold profile holds up beautifully even if it's not ultra-fresh (grocery store beans). Sumatra's earthy depth actually does better with a little age than most light roasts.
It's pleasantly smooth, not harsh at all, and one of the best value cups I've found.
Brewing Tips
Brews surprisingly well as a pour-over for a clean, balanced cup.
Really shines in a Mokka pot and brings out that deep, chocolatey richness without any bitterness.
Value and Recommendation
Price: Around $9-10 for a 13 oz bag, seriously hard to beat for this quality and drinkability.
Perfect for: Home brewers wanting reliable, full-bodied Sumatra on a budget. If what you want is a ‘coffee tasting coffee’ this is it.
My new Mokka

I snagged the Grosche Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker and I'm pumped, its stainless steel build edges out the Bialetti with superior durability, easier cleaning, and a handy burn guard to prevent hot-handle mishaps. At just $40, it's one of the best coffee investments out there. Grab yours and brew up some Moka magic.
